Thursday, October 1, 2009

For those of you wondering about all these extra posts I'm putting up this week, allow me to explain.

No, no, there is too much. Let me "sum up."

1. John and I are on a book tour for Cake Wrecks, the book.2. Uh...actually, that's about it.

On Tuesday we got to visit The Tattered Cover in Denver, where we fought oxygen deprivation in the thin air and managed to get at least one guy in the crowd to look excited:

Thanks, Nils.

Actually, what's happened here is that long bouts of uncontrollable laughter have rendered everyone nearly catatonic with pleasure. [polishing fingernails] Yep, me and John, we have what you might call "the gift."

Adding to the fun were the oh-so-yummy cupcakes, provided by Porche of Lovely Confections:

And one last thing: I'd like to apologize to the last 20 or so of you in the signing line that night; we had to rush because the store was closing (well, had been closed for 25 minutes, actually) and so we didn't get the chance to chat with you as much as we wanted to. I'm very sorry about that, and I hope you each still had fun!

I discovered your blog only a few days ago and can't remember the last time I laughed so much. I love your clever wit (and the occasional quote from the Princess Bride). As a former professional cake decorator myself I can't BELIEVE those cakes! Thanks for making the world a happier place!

:( I am so sorry I missed it...planned on being there but traffic and parking woes made me just go home. Looks like it was fun!! (I still have my books coming from Amazon -- Rock on jen and good luck with the rest of the tour)

That green sailor guy is Kai! Kai is a green blob like frog puppet that is part of a show in Denmark called Kai and Andrea. The best thing about the cakes (at least in Denmark) is that when you bit into them they have red jelly in the inside. It freaked me out!!

When are those cursed with jobs that won't permit leave going to be blessed with photos of the immensely talented and hilarious Mr. & Mrs. Cake Wreck? Preferably posed around a Naked Mohawk Baby Carrot Jockey, but that may be asking too much.

Thanks, carry on. And enjoy the DFW area - while I slave away at work.

drove 100 miles- got into LoDo as the Rockies game was starting- paid big $$ for parking out of exhaustion and frustration-took my boyfriend to his first booksigning (double thanks for making it so much fun)where we both proceeded to eat yummy cupcakes and laugh our *** offget caught in Rockies traffic again and drive 100 miles back homeWas it worth it? Oh yeah!!!! Fun and funny. Thanks so much for popping out to our oxygen deprived corner of the world

ROFL I'm still chuckling to myself about the French Butterfly! (Hon hon hon!) My hubby's credit card picture was taken quite a few years ago, when he was sporting a mustache that made him look distinctly francais...so when he pulls it out to buy something I sometimes laugh like that to tease him. XD

***plaintive whine*** Hubby insisted that a book signing in downtown Denver, during a Rockies game, was not an appropriate way to spend our 8th anniversary. I begged and pleaded and he took me to a nice dinner and a movie against my will! I wanted to go and meet you (but I couldn't ditch him on our anniversary...could I?) I can't wait to get a copy of your book to convert even more of my friends into Wreckies (MWAHAHAHA)! LOVE your site and maybe I'll meet you another time (book tour redux?)

Hey! Sorry I missed you in Denver - I'm a huge fan of your site (do another signing here...I know you want to). I used to be a baker, and I've seen cakes that still make me wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. Thanks for keeping us laughing!

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

Ordering Info

Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.
